Abstract
This paper describes the full-scale measurements and the wind tunnel model tests on cross-ventilation induced by the natural wind and the similarity between them. The full-scale measurements were conducted in a group of apartment houses under the condition that the direction of the approaching wind to the objective site was almost constant. The air flow speed around the objective buildings and the indoor air flow speed caused by the cross-ventilation are measured in the full-scale measurements. The wind tunnel tests consist of two kinds of experiments. One is the experiments on the air flow around buildings and the wind pressure on building surfaces as the source power of the cross-ventilation. The other is the experiments on the distribution of indoor air flow. Each of these experiments needs each experiment model. Their results are compared with the full-scale measurements.
